Overview

The Casting Contest is your chance to show off your mold making and casting skills. We want to see your most ingenious projects regardless of whether you are casting your objects in plaster, resin, concrete, wax, chocolate, rubber, metal, porcelain, or something else entirely. Pour your heart and soul into that mold and show us the magic that results!

Any Instructable that uses a cast object at any point in the process is eligible to enter. We are looking for Instructables with clear images and instructions that really take advantage of the casting process in the creation of the final project.

The Casting Contest is closed.
